7. Measurement techniques
In order to obtain accurate and repeatable
measurements, the bottom of the instrument must
be aligned flat on the sample surface. Do not move
the instrument while measuring.
To perform a measurement, press the operate key
or set-up the instrument to automatically perform a
measurement when the four pins are pressed down
(see chapter ”Setup/Instrument”).
You can adjust the number of readings in “Setup/
Measurement parameters/Sample/Statistic/Number
of measurements”. When using an Organizer, the
number of readings is predefined.
You can adjust the sensitivity of the pins to the
sample curvature. Refer to the paragraph “Sample
curvature” in chapter “Setup/Instrument”.
Pressing the mode wheel while being in
measurement mode opens a submenu:
Main menu
Interupt statistic
Delete last measurement
Delete checkzone.
By pressing the ”esc” button you can switch
between measurement mode and the main menu.
